Question:
In the ray diagram in Figure Q24.8, a combination of blue (n 1.60) and red (n 1.50) light strikes the surface of a fl at glass plate. Because of dispersion, there are two different refracted rays inside the glass. Which of the following statements correctly describes this situation? More than one statement applies.
(a) Ray 1 is the blue ray, and ray 2 is the red ray.
(b) Ray 1 is the red ray, and ray 2 is the blue ray.
(c) Different rays reflect at different angles due to their color.
(d) This diagram shows an example of total internal reflection.
(e) The index of refraction in the glass is larger for red light.
